He praised Americaís accomplishments but said there is a darker side to progress when politicians peddle resentment and mistrust to preserve the status quo. ďIt did not start with Donald Trump.

Call it ďgut instinctĒ but my gut is almost always right. Obama has a secret hidden at Columbia- and itís a bad one that threatens to bring down his Presidency. Gut instinct is how Iíve made my living for 29 years...

Earlier this year, hardline Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio announced that an investigation by his office had found that Obama's birth certificate was a forgery. Most Republican critics of Obama have given up pushing widely discredited long-running allegations that he was not...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama is mixing mixed comedy with some early campaigning at the White House Correspondents' Association annual dinner, focusing mainly on Donald Trump. With Trump in attendance, Obama said the billionaire businessman has shown the acumen of a future president, from firing Gary Busey on a recent episode of "Celebrity Apprentice" to focusing so much time on conspiracy theories about Obama's birthplace.

The White House and their fellow government media will have a real hard time denigrating Trump and his demands for Obama's full birth certificate. Ambercrombie, Governor of Hawaii has already tried DNC talking points. Instead of defending his statement that he remembers Obama being born, he speaks about Trumps bankruptcy's. White House must be terrified, they are going to have a very hard time ignoring this elephant in the living room. I think it's gunna get real interesting as the Proofers gain traction on this mess.
